Based on their reactions, my notion is ridiculous and scary. They said she is a literal monster, not just in a sense, but the literal aning. There is not a single thing you can describe her aside from the Raven and a monster which ans she is pretty strong for her to be described like that. And she made a bigger na for herself after she managed to gather so intel on the Crazed Phenonon Disorder. Since most of the magicians deployed did not even get the chance to live up to the mission even though most of the deployed magicians are elite ones, they all fell victim to the Crazed Phenonon Disorder.
Only "The Raven" managed to escape its grip and live to tell the info she knows. Of course, she didn't say much on how to stop the disease. She only said to leave "it" alone. Although her words are cryptic about it, she keeps on stopping further magicians from getting involved in it because it is not on the league of soone to tackle it. The only thing that can be done with it is to avoid it or wait for soone who can handle the sickness.
Still, these people's shock seems strange enough for . Is she that scary?
"A-are you sure she is the one you are looking for?!" the receptionist stuttered as she looked at with a face saying, "Are you out of your mind?" or sothing on that line.
"Yes. If possible, I want to et her today."
Not only the receptionist paused, she shook a little bit when she heard what I just said. However, she quickly recomposes herself and smiled.
"I will try to contact "The Raven" and check if her schedule is fine, please wait a minute," she smiled and bowed.
After that, she left her post and went upstairs using the elevator near the counter. Without the receptionist, I took a seat on one of the vacant chairs and waited for her return. The people staring at ticked off a little bit. Not only does it feel annoying but they seed to pierce with those gazes of theirs.
"You seed to be getting popular, kiddo," Blue said to .
"Oh, shut up. That is not the gaze of soone trying to idolize a person. That is a gaze of disdain and judgental opinions!"
"Still, it ans you are garnering attention to other people!"
"If this is the attention I will be getting, I will gladly decline on it. That is not a good thing even for ."
"Still, those reactions from other people were strange as soon as they heard the nickna, "The Raven." Maybe she has a low reputation despite being the leader and founder of the rcenary Magician Guild in Akihabara?"
"I think that's not it. She might be a symbol of fear since she is described as a "Monster" by many magicians. Maybe that is the reason why these guys are afraid of her and ntioning just her nickna might invoke the wrath of "The Raven".
"Huh... For once, you seed to be thinking much more logically."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing~"
It took the receptionist to return to the counter. When she returned, I saw her so wet from her sweat like she just took a bath. Seeing her in that state made frown. Just what did she experience to go from a presentable state to a wet state?
"Ha... um... she said she is available right now and...if you wanted to talk to her...ha... you can take the elevator and... go to the top floor..."
After that, she went to her chair previously and sat there in a daze. Her subordinates looked at her for a bit before they turned back to their work as nothing happened. I wanted to ask her but seeing the reaction of the others, I decided to just not ask instead. Whatever she has experienced there, I hope I won't experience it either.
While entering the elevator, I can feel the gazes of everyone behind my back. However, whatever things that will happen upstairs, I can only endure. Besides, if they knew sothing, they should have told .
...
Around 30 seconds later, I arrived on the top floor. Now that I think about it, whenever they are higher-ups or important people, their offices would be always at the top of the floors. Is there any particular reason why?
"You have so random thoughts Kazuma. I don't really know why you always think random things like you are speaking to soone."
"Shut up, I am not even saying anything and here you are, saying things like this and that."
"Oh well, I never cared less about what you are doing but maybe you should lessen the talk all by yourself? I might think that you are going mad already. Anyways, here we are. "The Raven" is currently on the other side of this door," Blue said as I stop in front of the big doorway.
"This is a big door, why is it so big?"
"You can go in and see for yourself."
Blue didn't say anything about what is on the other side so I have no choice but to push the door open.
CREAK...
As I push the door open, I saw a woman sitting on a chair, in front of her is a table full of papers and books. She is currently writing sothing so I can't see her face a bit. However, I can tell that she is around the age of 25 above. Her short black hair which is around the length only on her neck catches my eye. It might be the usual black hair but it exudes a little bit of bluish to which looks similar to how the mana flows in the air. My only question is that, how can she still write using a pen? She isn't using braille so I am wondering how.
"You must be the visitor that the receptionist earlier told who wanted to schedule a eting with ."
Just by her voice, I can imdiately feel the pressure she is exuding out. But to who already experienced severe pressure before, this amount of weight being forced on is nothing for .
"Yes, I am the one who did request to et with you. My na is Kazuma, one of the magicians sent by the Magicians Society to investigate and put to a stop the Crazed Phenonon Disorder."
As soon as she heard the na of the sickness, she stopped writing and raised her head to face . Just like what Blue said to , she is indeed blind. Her eyes are all pure white, it wasn't a normal eye feature and so blind people manifest the white pupils after it was damaged on sickness or accident. Aside from that, her face is quite pretty though there are scars present that sohow add more charm to her face. Still, I must say that she is one hot mature woman and she is not that old yet. But why the other people are afraid of her though?
"I see. So that sickness has once again resurfaced. But you should have known now the sickness is a curse itself that will keep on eating on you once you started searching for it. Why did you accept it?"
"Because I needed to do so, to save soone," I said firmly without shaking and getting nervous. If I don't do this job, I might not have a chance to get the dicine for Anya to wake up. If these jobs will help to have a chance to obtain that single dicine, then I would take as many of this as possible.
"To save soone, huh..." she smiled as she muttered those words.
Then, the pressure in the air starts to get heavier all of a sudden. But just like what I said earlier, this is nothing to compared to the pressures I experienced the past few months.
"Ho~ a person who can withstand my intimidation ability. That is quite rare for soone to possess."
"You can see what is happening even though you can't see?"
"I am a magician. I have a variety of abilities and opening the third eye to see things through is easy for . You don't have to be surprised about it. Now tell why you wanted to et with so badly that you wanted to schedule our et up already. Is this about the Crazed Phenonon Disorder?"
"Yes. I have heard that "The Raven" is the one who managed to survive and tell the tale of the Crazed Phenonon Disorder for the first ti."
"So that thing is still going on in the Magician Society eh? I never expected them to rember that since it has been a long ti ago since that happened."
"I researched on my own about your circumstances about your escape on the Crazed Phenonon Disorder's grasp. If everything about it is true, then perhaps you know so sort of spell or whatever ritual to stop reduce its effects?"
"The Raven" looked at with a serious eye and smiled. "If you are soone who wanted to get the effects of the sickness reduced, then first prove you are worthy enough."
